In a disturbing incident in Keonjhar district, Odisha, a tribal man named Jeetu Munda (50) exhumed his deceased sister's skeleton to prove her death to bank officials at the Maliposi branch of Odisha Grameen Bank. Jeetu had been attempting to withdraw ₹20,000 from his sister Kalra Munda's account, who passed away on January 26, 2026. After repeated visits to the bank, where he was told to bring the account holder in person, Jeetu took this extreme step out of frustration. The incident underscores significant gaps in banking awareness and procedures in rural India, particularly for illiterate individuals like Jeetu, who did not understand concepts like legal heirs or nominees. Following the incident, police intervened, assuring Jeetu that they would assist him in completing the withdrawal process through proper legal channels. Complicating matters further, the nominee listed in the account had also passed away, making Jeetu the sole claimant. Local authorities are now working to resolve the issue and ensure Jeetu receives the funds without further delay.
